Anything in particular?

With your SubPostmaster suggestion, the split of BackendRun (ne:
BackendFork) and BackendInit could now be undone (and I had a TODO item to
ask the list if such a reversion was desirable, and provide said patch)...
but other than that I don't see where any former structure re: backend
creation has been destroyed.

Cheers,
Claudio
